To those affected by a heart defect:

Haven: critical but more stable

December 16, 2006 at 1:08 pm by Grandpa pa J

I visited Jeremey, Alison and Haven last evening. Haven is at a crucial step of her recovery process. Alison and Jeremey have been on sort of a roller coaster ride. Understandibly so.

As of this morning she has stabalized to some degree. That is a positive note. Jeremey and Alison spoke with the head nurse and cardiologist. They were told that having Haven to become stabalized is very important. Though her blood pressure is a little low and her heart rate is a little high, being consistant gives the doctors somthing to critique. If she is not stable it is more difficult to adjust any medications, machine settings, etc..

The past few hours she has shown signs of stabilizing. Lets continue to pray for her comfort and strength.

Stay tune for more updates later today.
